With the rebuilt Pferdegöpel on the Rudolph shaft in the district of Marienberg Lauta a piece of Marienberg mining history comes to life. The visitor learns about the structure and operation of the originally horse-driven conveyor system, which was operated from 1838 to 1877 on the Rudolph shaft.

In 1838/1839 the waterhole shaft was expanded into a production shaft. The shaft tube was lined with brick, the shaft was saddled up and a horse head was installed. On January 23, 1839, the shaft was given the name of the new mining master Rudolph Hering and was henceforth called Rudolphschacht.

Since June 2006, the Pferdegöpel has been in operation again as a visitor facility. In the spring of 2008, the mining ensemble was supplemented with another attraction. With the construction of a mountain forge based on a historical model, an approx. 60 m² adventure area for young and old was created, which presents various machines and utensils such as screw presses, drills and forge fire with ambos and invites you to demonstrations on special occasions. Here visitors can stamp their own souvenir – a Göpeltaler.
